- It's a hot day. The local pool's within walking distance. Becca and I wander down for a swim, followed by a picnic lunch in the park.
- I spend a happy hour in the garden, potting up tomatoes and kowhai and scorched-earthing the big round planter at the front. I free potbound herbs and give them a new home, and transplant the parsley so that its neighbour the mint, already showing signs of recovery, will have a chance to thrive.
- I make a jug of iced tea, adding some of the aforementioned mint.

I'm loving your 'beautiful things' posts. I was thinking of you guys earlier; I went to the Daily Bread at lunchtime, but they've stopped selling milk, so I swung round to the Tesco - didn't actually go past your old house, but within yelling distance.
Here, it is cold and wet. It's trying to snow, and is allegedly succeeding at my parents' house, where the last of the pre-Christmas snow still hasn't melted from under the hedges and the shady side of banks. The days are getting longer, though, and it has been *good* to have a proper winter. The summer will be all the sweeter for it (and probably with fewer bugs, too).
Love to all!

Ah, the Daily Bread, or the Hippy Hippy Co-op, as J and I used to call it. Is it still open, and in the same place? I heard rumours it was going to close. It's one of the things I miss about Cambridge. Run by very earnest hippy Christians. At Christmas they used to come out of the stock room with guitars, and hand out Christmas cake. Bless 'em.
Glad you're enjoying the blog. Miss you lots. We have a spare room now, you know ;)
